Basic Lemon Cheesecake image

The easiest, quickest, yummiest cheesecake ever! It was my mums recipe so I grew up on this cheesecake and prefer it to all others. It makes a great base recipe that you can do all sorts of things with. Dont use light cream cheese otherwise it wont set properly.

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (250 g) packet plain sweet biscuits, crumbed (I use granita)
90 g butter, melted
500 g cream cheese (philly)
1 (400 g) can sweetened condensed milk
2 lemons, juice of

Steps:

  • Combine melted butter and biscuit crumbs.
  • Press into greased pie dish.
  • Refridgerate while preparing topping.
  • Beat cream cheese till soft, gradually add milk while beating.
  • Add lemon juice and beat till combined.
  • 2 lemons is just a guide- add as much or as little as you like depending on your taste.
  • Pour onto base and refridgerate until firm- best overnight but otherwise at least 2 hours.
  • Margarita variation: Substitute the lemon with a commercial margarita mix (lime and triple sec) and tequila.
  • Add to taste- i think i used 1/2 cup margarita and 2 shots of tequila.
  • The taste does get stronger when it sets.
  • Chocolate slice: use plain choc biscuits in the base and press into slice tin.
  • Swirl melted chocolate into topping before refridgerating.
  • Cut into squares.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this cheesecake is amazing! The lemon flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the cheesecake itself is creamy and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
